Happy Pi Day!

Do you have a favorite pie? I'm not a fan of most pies, but I do enjoy Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving, and I like Lemon Meringue and Key Lime pies. I'm more of a savory pie girl: Shepherd's Pie, Cottage Pie, and Tourtiere (Canadian pork pie).

I guess my favourites wouldn't probably be considered as 'pie' in the US, as they are made with a yeast dough base, and filled with quark and/or blueberries, or lingonberries, or apple sauce. The dough is the same as for Finnish (and Swedish) cinnamon buns, and other types of buns.
The pie can be of different size, made small enough for one person, or large enough to cut into slices. Some use a quark filling, and add blueberries on the top of it, I prefer make them into separate pies, as I like the tartness of the wild blueberries.

1. Chocolate Crème Pie
2. Peach Pie
3. Pumpkin Pie

I like blueberry pie also but prefer blueberry cobbler. I actually have fresh blueberries I need to use, and a can of blueberry pie filling. The can of pie filling always has too much syrup and not enough fruit. So I add fresh fruit to it.

I have the ingredients for chocolate cream pie on hand also.

I know that most people love apple pie, but I don’t care for it much. I like tart cherry pie, rhubarb pie, lemon meringue, and key lime.

Our state pie here in Indiana is sugar cream pie. I make it occasionally but it involves lots of stirring although I know there are some shortcut recipes for it they don’t taste like the original pie. If I’m going to bake it, I want to make the real thing.

One of my friends has a butterscotch pie recipe they his mom made frequently before she passed away. He had asked my to make it for him, and I have, but it involves an entire hour of stirring over a double boiler. He says no one else other than me has ever been able to make it taste like his mom’s butterscotch pie. I know most people won’t stir for an hour and many don’t even own a double boiler so that is why no one else makes it like hers

I like peach pie too but prefer peach cobbler. But I only make it when I can get good fresh peaches. So that means it is a summer recipe for me as we only get good fresh peaches for a couple of months in the summer.
